LIGGGHTS youngsModulus limitation for CGS units is not consistent with SI units

Hello all,

I am using LIGGGHTS version 3.6.0 and CGS units. I am getting this error:
ERROR: youngsModulus <= 1e8 required for CGS units

So I think the unit here is dyn.cm−2 (=0.1 Pa), which means the limitation here is 1e7Pa. Am I understanding it correctly?
If it is yes, then it is not consistent with the youngsModulus limitation in SI units (1e9Pa). So I am wondering why?

Thanks!
